- More about Religion and Politics in a Mediatized Society: Critical Analyses and Spheres of Interinfluence in Nigeria and Beyond
Religion and Politics in a Mediatized Society examines the hegemonic relationship of religion and politics in Nigeria and beyond, using communication theories and paradigms to extrapolate how religion is designed, packaged, disseminated, and interpreted among Nigerians. It traces the evolution and development of this problem to colonialism and measures the impact of religious media messages from three perspectives: the message itself, the medium used, and the power of the source.

Religion and Politics in a Mediatized Society: Critical Analyses and Spheres of Interinfluence in Nigeria and Beyond, edited by Bellarmine A. Ezumah, Charles A. Ebelebe, and Olunifesi A. Suraj, provides a comprehensive examination of the hegemonic relationship between religion and politics in Nigeria and beyond. Through the use of various communication theories and paradigms, the book explores the dynamics of religion and religious practices, tracing their evolution and development to colonialism. The contributors analyze the impact of religious media messages from three perspectives: the impact of the messages themselves, the impact of the medium used in transmitting the message, and the impact of the power of the source, which includes religious or political leaders who exert influence on opinion followers. The book highlights how religion is often portrayed as a propagandistic venture, prioritizing capitalism and monetary gain over core religious values, traditional teachings, and methods of worship. It challenges the notion that religion is solely a private matter and argues that it plays a significant role in shaping public discourse and political outcomes. The book contributes to the growing body of literature on religion and politics in Africa and beyond, providing valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted relationship between these two domains.
